Looks awesome, I'm not holding my breath for a proper linux port though.

An Unreal Engine 4 game with linux support post release ? now where have I seen that before.. ;)

Quoting: GuestBethesda is going for vulkan and they may change their mind.

Says who? Id Software did Vulkan, But that's because Id has always used OpenGL instead of DX.

Quoting: UnshraFor me, it's the very improbable three Skyrim, Witcher 3 and Doom.

Out of all of those Witcher 3 is way way more likely

I think it's more likely for bethesda to make a deal with feral than with cd projekt red...

Really you think the guys that said we tried linux there is no market there are more likely than CD projekt red who publish linux games and actually promised witcher 3 at one point. Now studios changing their minds on port is nothing new to linux, barring a sudden switch to vulkan from the custom engine i admit its not likely but its at least more likely than Bethesda at least with Bethesda current board.

The only linux game cd projekt red has published was witcher 2 and they lied about the witcher 3 port. Bethesda is going for vulkan and they may change their mind. Also, it's about feral porting stuff and they need to make a deal with the publisher. cd projekt red don't care about the linux community and never really cared.

No go on GOG and look again way more than one game on there and they are all published by cd project red in fact they have published 2100 linux games so far and it is gog that make sure they run on linux and they are cd projekt red they may be a different department but they are still the same group

Indeed, but the main point is still the same.

Edit: To clarify, about Linux having to wait around (regardless of the Mac position).

I think that can be related with API's.

Since Vulkan is being used on Feral's Linux ports , games were published with both OpenGL and Vulkan because OpenGL is still doing good and most important ; it is more reliable when it comes to drivers. Especially with open source ones. Mesa Vulkan drivers are not there yet.

On the other hand , publishing a game to MacOS with OpenGL 4.1 with it's crappy drivers is really pointless. So probably they are going with Metal only.

Quoting: dvdI don't like using wine, i haven't bought a single windows game in about 6 years now. If you count wine compatibility as "ports" then they might as well not part any games to gnu at all...

Also i don't think referring to certain games as "impossible" therefore bad to mention is not very useful, i think Feral will know better, if they decide to look at this wishlist (or any list) at all.

I would also add Super Mario Maker to my list as well.

I get that point of view I personally do use wine but mainly for dx9 games which i know work perfectly but yeah if any of them came to linux i would purchase a copy just to make sure feral market presence increases. The more visible they are to publishers the better at the minute

QuoteSo far it seems Doom, Bioshock and The Witcher 3 are popular choices.

I would appreciate if we would not talk all the time about games that are out of the question or simply do not make sense. Doom, for example, runs under Wine better than any Feral port. Anyone who wants it has already bought it. Feral would not make money and Linux as a gaming platform would not be more attractive either.

The game that is most lacking is GTA V. Countless people do not switch to Linux because of GTA.

Personally I would like Elite: Dangerous for Linux. But actually not as a Port but directly from Frontier. So I bought a PlayStation 4 for the time being.

I dont think GTA is the reason people are not on linux its a big game but its not the biggest reason given more people play COD/BF/Madden/Fifa than GTA

Not everyone is willing or even able to use Wine to play games.

LEGO Titles

Also forgot the LEGO series. My sisters are no longer children, but one has child, and they both use and love linux. They recently talked to me about getting the old LSW2 to work, but had issues with DRM and wine, and so we couldn't even see if the performance was decent enough. I think some proper ports would sell well.

I'm definitely the first one who would buy ALL the LEGO titles if they ever came to Linux, those games are incredibly enjoyable.

If Feral were to bring any of these games to Linux, that we have listed and if anyone already owns them on another platform, then re-buy them or donate to Feral Interactive and every other game porter to Linux. The amount of hard work and dedication these porters do is truly amazing and not to mention the fantastic programmers out there that made these wonderful individual, Linux OSes for us to play our games on. Sorry speech over.

The problem with porting games to Linux, is getting the backing from the original publishers.
Here is my list of day dream games that I wish and no doubt a lot of other people do? Would like to see come to Linux. I unfortunately do not own a touch screen device, so am not a member of Twitter, so let's hope to God that Feral Interactive read our lists.

1 Metal Gear Solid (Twin Snakes) Nintendo Game Cube version.
2 All the G. T. A games
3 All the Jak & Daxter games (Probably not as never has Naughty Dog published to PC or at least I don't think so.)
4 All the Ratchet & Clank games.
5 The Getaway 1 & 2 (Yes they're old but when I played them on my Playstation 2 they were stunning. Fully mapped streets of London and a cracking plot to boot.)
6 (We Can Dream) Nintendo's versions of Resident Evil, or the Windows version remastered HD version of Nintendo Game Cube Capcom's remake of such a brilliant scary, hammed acting B movie game. Plus all the rest of the Resident Evil games, as we don't have very many Zombie games on Linux.
7 Whether or not the rumors are true about Feral bringing Rise of the Tomb Raider to Linux I wish it so much, so this is at number 7.
8 Again they are old but brilliant, as I don't care what a game looks like, it is the playability that counts and these games still hold true today, Medal Of Honor the very first one on the Play-Station one and all the others, that were released on PS2.
9 Golf games are good, but the Windows version of this next game was rubbish, compared to the PS2's version and I know it won't happen anyway but here goes it is Tiger Woods 2004, the PS2 version, as the PC version was too tricky to get to grips with.
10 In at ten, although these games are pretty old now, the game play was far superior for it's time and the animations were fantastic, did I mention the atmosphere? Well if I didn't then on the edge of your seat you'd be, God Of War series from PS2 days, has to be in this list as I still have not completed them yet. I was debating where abouts to put them in the list, but as they say leave the best till last.

I wish there was more than just Victor Vran and Torchlight 2 for the Diablo-like experience. I find Victor himself way too cookie-cutter of a character to be stuck behind for a whole game, even though the mechanics can be fun.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice would be interesting. Dunno how feasible but it's a major title that isn't held back by a big publisher like 2K, Bethesda, or Ubisoft.
